House GOP Benghazi investigators have discovered 60 new Libya communications between Sidney Blumenthal and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a congressional source told POLITICO on Monday — suggesting that either the State Department or the 2016 Democratic presidential contender withheld correspondence the panel had requested.

The House Select Committee on Benghazi had quietly subpoenaed Blumenthal’s Libya emails. And on Friday, the longtime Clinton family friend — who is set to testify before investigators behind closed doors Tuesday morning — handed over 120 pages worth of new Libya- and Benghazi-related emails.

“These emails were not previously produced to the Committee or released to the public, and they will help inform tomorrow’s deposition,” panel Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said in a statement late Monday evening. “We are prepared to release these emails.”

Here’s why I think it’s shady – we already know that Hillary most likely scrubbed all incriminating emails, so why would they all of a sudden find new ones? I think they might be playing rope-a-dope. Deliver some emails and get everyone’s hopes that there will be a “smoking gun” and then when they find nothing after working up the right-wing into a an angry mob, they’ll point at us and laugh. Trust me, they won’t find anything here.
